My clinical focus is assisting individuals who are navigating PTSD, C-PTSD, dissociative identity disorder (DID), or complex trauma rooted in attachment wounds, institutional abuse, or ritual abuse. I also assist those who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, or substance use, with the goal of processing trauma, healing fragmented parts, and shifting deeply held beliefs. I focus on offering safety, attunement, and using tools like EMDR and IFS. I offer inclusive, affirming care that honors identity and intersectionality, supporting clients to move from surviving to thriving and reconnecting with their inner resilience.
I offer EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), both powerful trauma-informed approaches. IFS helps clients understand that even their most distressing parts serve protective roles, fostering self-compassion and healing. EMDR targets negative core beliefs tied to trauma, clearing disturbing memories and installing adaptive beliefs through tailored protocols
If you’re carrying pain, shame, or parts of yourself that feel too much to hold alone, you’re not broken—you’re protecting. Together, we’ll gently explore your story using EMDR and IFS, honoring every part of you. Healing is possible. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you toward relief, clarity, and lasting change.
